In view of absence of Inspector Hall and PCSO Michael Courtney-Hunt it was agreed that a request would be made for them to attend our next meeting on the 12th September for us to understand exactly why they do not want the site re-opened. It was felt that the content of the email from Inspector Hall was not very clear. It was also proposed that we contact The Police & Crime Commissioner at some stage.

16/01497/FUL – New storage building (Class B8) with hard standing, car parking and portakabins (resubmission of 15/01814/FUL) at Site 32 Oil Depot, Wansford Road, Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire – plan does not give sufficient detail and is misleading. Before Parish Council can comment would like sight of Traffic analysis, Noise analysis, Risk Assessment for Hyrdo Carbide storage, Analysis of safe practices with regard to surface water and drainage.
